Chapter 70 Visualization
Chapter 70 Visualization (Subscription Request)
Lin Tianwang was a hero in the martial arts world. He suddenly met Xu Qing on the official ship and was confused about the situation. After a moment of shock, he took a step towards Xu Qing.
His step seemed to be a light and understated one, but in fact, after it landed, there was a loud bang on the official ship, and the wooden planks under his feet began to rise and fall like waves, causing the entire deck to shake. The yamen runners from the inspection office on the ship were caught off guard and fell to the ground.
Even the monks of the Jinguang Temple were all horrified.
Fa Yue clasped his hands together, looking stern.
Naturally, he was well-informed and could see that the tough guy in front of him had such superb martial arts skills that he was afraid that no one in the entire Jinguang Temple could compete with him in terms of strength.
Such a person is truly a gifted person.
In fact, although there are differences in the level of martial arts training such as training muscles, bones and internal organs, personal talent still plays a huge role in actual combat comparisons.
For example, a bone-training warrior with ordinary talent is unlikely to defeat a tendon-training warrior with extraordinary talent.
Others are born with supernatural powers. Even if you improve your physique and increase your strength through bone training, in the end you may still be unable to match the results of other people's casual muscle training.
This type of people are often born to be brave generals on the battlefield.
The saying "it's easy to get thousands of soldiers but hard to get a good general" probably refers to the kind of people in front of us.
At the same time, King Lin's energy and blood were stimulated.
Only at this moment did Xu Qing realize that the powerful suppression of a warrior's qi and blood on his soul was even more terrifying than he had expected.
He was unable to leave his body for a while.
"When practicing Taoism, it is indeed easy to be suppressed by the energy and pressure of martial arts." Xu Qing sighed secretly.
This is also a matter of course.
If Taoism had not been restrained by martial arts, then the Lotus Sect and the Luo Sect would have already become the dominant ones.
But Xu Qing still had a doubt in his mind. If someone practiced martial arts and Taoism at the same time, wouldn't he be able to have the best of both worlds? Is there anyone who can practice both to the pinnacle?
Although Xu Qing himself had a lot of skills, he was able to master both magic and martial arts at the same time.
But there are always people with extraordinary talent in the world.
He vaguely felt that when martial arts and Taoism reached a high level, there should be an extremely contradictory conflict, making it difficult to practice both to a high level at the same time.
A thought flashed through his mind. When Xu Qing saw King Lin take a step forward, he did not retreat. He stepped forward and said to the officers and soldiers around him: "Put down your weapons. This is a friend of mine in the martial arts world."
Xu Qing's current position is extremely special. Whether it is the inspection office or the officers and soldiers, they are all willing to listen to his command.
As for the martial monks of Jinguang Temple, following Fayue's suggestion, they did not act rashly.
When Inspector Wu saw such a powerful man coming, he naturally did not show up.
He still has self-knowledge, and facing the lawless heroes of the martial arts world, he can only hold them back.
You said you were the Imperial Inspector, representing the imperial court, and the last of the four great civil servants in Nanzhili Province? What's the point?
They are lawless, okay!
Of course, no matter how lawless they are, they probably wouldn't dare to do anything.
Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the worst.
If something happens, the disciple will do his best.
Believe in Gongming!
When King Lin saw Xu Qing take the initiative to step forward, he felt relieved.
He still believed in Xu Qing's character.
To be honest, there were so many people on the ship. Even if he could destroy the enemy leader, he could not guarantee that he could escape unscathed from the siege of so many people.
The people on the boat were afraid of him, and King Lin was also feeling guilty, otherwise he wouldn't have made such a show of force first.
Oh my god! He had heard from Zhao Bao that the ships carrying smuggled salt were ordinary official ships, with few people and no real experts. He never expected that the scene would be like this.
If he hadn't seen Xu Qing, the first thing he would have done was to capture the leader before he could feel at ease.
"Brother Lin, let's talk aside." Xu Qing thought over and over again, and suddenly figured out why King Lin appeared here.
It turned out that the place where they received the goods was also the place where King Lin wanted to rob his fellow criminals. What a coincidence.
So quickly, King Lin should be able to successfully resolve the Salt Gang’s delivery transit point.
Xu Qing now has a higher opinion of the strength of Lin Tianwang, the iron bull.
When the two of them came to one side, Lin Tianwang asked first, "Brother Gongming, how come you are here?"
So Xu Qing told King Lin the general whole story.
After hearing this, King Lin felt that it was indeed a coincidence and felt relieved.
He secretly thought it was a pity. He had originally wanted to swallow up the entire shipload of smuggled salt, but now that Xu Qing was here, this...
Xu Qing understood King Lin's thoughts, and in a short period of time, he had come up with a plan in his mind, and the two sides had a cordial and friendly negotiation.
The fish market certainly cannot consume this shipload of smuggled salt, and Inspector Wu has to report for credit to his superiors, so the smuggled salt on the ship probably cannot be moved.
There are also salt permits, and according to the regulations, a portion of them must be handed over.
A portion of the spoils and corpses seized by King Lin on the island must also be divided out.
It just so happened that Xu Qing had the crossbow arrows that had been seized previously, and he also made a portion of the profit from King Lin's operation this time.
After a friendly exchange between the two and the approximate distribution of benefits was determined, King Lin returned to the island. However, King Lin also respected the moral principles of the underworld and protected Zhao Bao once from Xu Qing.
Zhao Bao was already a eunuch, childless, so Xu Qing was not worried about revenge from his descendants. Besides, his biggest crisis had nothing to do with Zhao Bao.
Now Zhao Bao can't even affect the black energy of his luck. Considering the need to take into account King Lin's moral principles, Xu Qing didn't hold on to it.
Of course, Xu Qing only gave this one chance. If Zhao Bao went to the north later and appeared in front of Xu Qing again, he would not be polite.
In life, compromise is inevitable.
Xu Qing didn't bother about this little thing.
All in all, this time it was a happy ending for both sides.
Moreover, as long as the yamen runners and government soldiers on the ship were present, everyone received money. Everyone was a group, so there was no possibility of informing on others later.
Even the monks received incense money.
It takes a lot of effort for Xu Qing to take care of everything.
But people who often study rebellion know that fighting is only a small part of the rebellion, and the distribution of benefits is the real big thing.
Whoever takes the lead in this major event will naturally have the right to speak, and his subordinates will naturally support you.
Because you distribute the benefits, everyone will naturally protect your power.
In the process of maintenance, everyone's own interests are also protected.
After everything was settled, Xu Qing went to see the inspector and asked for his approval. After all, our inspector, no matter what, has the function of a seal, which cannot be ignored.
When Xu Qing went to see Inspector Wu, he thought of a classic line, "My dear teacher, just sit inside, and I will take care of the rest."
But it seems that this was said by the eunuch to the emperor, which is unlucky.
bah bah bah!
When Wu Xunan saw Xu Qing coming, his expression suddenly relaxed and he asked hurriedly, "Gongming, what are people saying outside?"
Xu Qing told his plan.
After hearing this, Wu Xun'an nodded repeatedly.
The matter was settled, and Wu Xun was treated like a protagonist in a story. He was calm and composed, commanding everyone to defeat the religious bandits, and then he discovered that the official ship was smuggling private salt, and took advantage of the opportunity to capture the salt gang's stronghold...
This set of movements is as smooth as flowing water.
The image of a loyal, brave and wise Qingtian is vivid.
After reading the script that Xu Qing helped polish, Wu Xun'an thought that he had really done these things.
No, I was the one who did these things!
At most, it's an exaggeration.
Just say which one is not true.
Everyone on the boat can testify!
...
...
Looking at the box, half of which was filled with gold, silver and treasures, and the other half with antiques, calligraphy and paintings, the combined value was truly shocking.
Inspector Wu sighed, "I didn't expect that they colluded with the salt gang and made so much money. This really makes me sad."
He turned to Xu Qing and continued, "The court still has to save face. If they are so greedy, it will easily make the emperor angry. We still have to report the figures lower. In addition, if the incident gets out of hand, it will make Nanzhili a mess, and everyone will be in a panic, which is not conducive to stability."
Xunan Wu became the Xunan Yushi of Southern Zhili, and his status improved.
Only ordinary people would think of wiping out corrupt officials. But he was in a high position and had to consider the overall situation.
Knocking on the mountain is to scare the tiger, not to kill it.
How to fight a tiger is the business of the king and his father, and he cannot interfere.
With these evidences and this achievement, Inspector Wu is able to secure his position as Inspector Censor. What happens next will depend on what the higher-ups say.
So Xu Qing and Inspector Wu entered the Tianjing City of Yingtian Prefecture smoothly. As for the welcoming ceremony given by the city's officials of all ranks, it is not described in detail.
However, after Xu Qing arrived in Tianjing City and attended the welcoming banquet hosted by Inspector Wu, he was invited by Zhou Tixue's servant to live in the courtyard where Feng's father and daughter lived.
The Superintendent of Education had finished his official duties these days and happened to have something to discuss with Xu Qing.
It was impossible for Xu Qing to offend the great master who controlled the academic achievements of all the students in a province, so of course he was happy to move in.
...
...
"Whoever wakes up from a big dream first will know it in my life."
Xu Qing, who called himself "Jin Liang", had a good sleep and then woke up. However, after getting enough sleep, he felt that the nickname he gave himself, "Jin Liang", was not auspicious.
Because Zuo Gong, who used this elegant name in his previous life, was a son-in-law who lived with the wife's family.
This situation...
He remembered that the Zhou family's servants looked at him as if he were a new son-in-law.
It's obvious that all his achievements were achieved through his own hard work, but now things seem a bit distorted, as if he got them through the backdoor.
The female master is only Zhou Tixue’s niece, not his biological daughter!
After Xu Qing woke up, he had the breakfast brought by Zhou's servant. Having nothing to do, he picked up the gift that Lin Tianwang had given him earlier.
Most of them were taken home by Inspector Li, except for one important calligraphy and painting, which Xu Qing kept.
Because he was reminded by Fa Yue, he knew that this painting was a visualization picture.
Xu Qing recalled what Fa Yue said,
"When people practice cultivation, it is inevitable that they will have distracting thoughts and many demons in their hearts. This is especially true after committing a sin of killing. Some predecessors used visualization to resolve the evil thoughts in their hearts, or to use it for their own benefit. Buddhism has the visualization method of the Five Great Vidyarajas, which is the best of this kind of visualization."
Xu Qing also learned from Fa Yue that the visualization method is divided into practice method and practice method.
The purpose of training is to enhance the essence of the soul, while the purpose of fighting is to turn the inner demons and evil thoughts into your own use and use them in the power of Taoism.
However, this kind of fighting style is like raising a little ghost. If the soul is severely damaged, there is a risk of backlash against oneself.
Moreover, relying on Taoist magic to harm others can easily lead to misguided behavior.
In addition, this kind of Taoist magic is unlikely to work on people with strong wills. If they encounter a warrior like Lin Tianwang, they may be backfired if they use it rashly.
Xu Qing thought of the sight of King Lin trying his best to stimulate his qi and blood, which was truly awe-inspiring.
In that situation, it was difficult for him to practice moving his soul out of his body.
This is also related to the characteristics of the Bull Demon's powerful fist.
Because the Bull Demon's Vitality Fist has been cultivated to the extreme, it has "Yang Fire", which is the nemesis of evil spirits. Lin Tianwang, the Bull Demon of the time, naturally cultivated Yang Fire, so he has great control over Taoist masters at the Soul Night Wandering level and below.
"Visualization has its pros and cons. But I have a bronze mirror to illuminate myself, so I don't have to worry too much. I can use whatever works."
A martial arts master named Zhang once said that the way of martial arts can be used correctly if used in a righteous way, but can also be used in an evil way if used in an evil way.
Xu Qing looked at the visualization diagram intently.
This visualization picture contains the artist's artistic conception, which can easily make you dizzy at first glance. Fa Yue also said that only when the artist's realm is very high can he depict the artistic conception of the visualization method.
As for how high it is, it is at least as high as three or four floors. Anyway, Fayue thinks he is far from that. Even the abbot of Jinguang Temple is not able to depict the visualization method of this temple. What they are using now are the manuscripts left by Hongyue, the founder of Jinguang Temple.
In the visualization picture, this demon god has a text description next to him, which says he is called Yaksha King. Surrounding him is a scene of hell.
As for the seal of Mr. Qingshan, it has a kind of Confucian spirit, which fixes the Yaksha artistic conception of the visualization picture. Otherwise, if the Yaksha picture is taken out and worshiped by people day and night, it will easily breed evil spirits.
Before Xu Qing started his visualization, he recited The Great Learning silently as usual. With a sincere heart and full of energy, Xu Qing began to visualize the image of the Yaksha King.
As his visualization began, the evil thoughts that had grown in his body after killing someone began to gather.
These evil thoughts were also the thoughts of the devil in the mind, and with the help of the Yaksha King's visualization, they quickly came together and took shape.
The image of a Yaksha King appeared vividly in Zhou Qing's mind.
What followed was that Xu Qing actually smelled a bloody smell, and then blood continued to gush out around the Yaksha King, making him feel as if he was in a sea of blood.
Xu Qing knew that this was a vision that came from practicing visualization.
But his soul was not cultivated in vain. Faced with this strange sight, Xu Qing's soul let out a sharp and loud crane cry.
Like a phoenix singing in the sky!
The clear sound of the crane's cry was like a sharp sword piercing the Yaksha King's chest.
Sure enough, the surrounding sea of blood receded immediately.
After many twists and turns, Xu Qing repeatedly visualized and subdued the Yaksha King. After a long time, the Yaksha King was finally tamed by Xu Qing.
He ordered the Yaksha King to come out, but it was daytime and it didn't dare to go out, so it could only wander around in the house.
"The Yaksha King's realm is limited by the realm of my soul, and he is only at the level of night wandering." Xu Qing understood it in his heart, but he now has one more means.
In the future, you can send the Yaksha King out to gather information without having to use your own spirit to go out in person.
The Yaksha King is actually the incarnation of his soul, and his perspective can also be used by Xu Qing.
However, how far it can be away from his body still needs to be tested.
In addition, the Yaksha King has a nightmare-like effect on ordinary people. As for its lethality in other aspects, further exploration is needed.
Moreover, after the Yaksha King condensed, Xu Qing's soul seemed to have refined the impurities and became very relaxed.
"It seems that from now on, my evil thoughts of killing people can be condensed into the Yaksha King, and I don't have to worry about these evil thoughts affecting my soul. But the stronger the Yaksha King is, the greater the possibility of losing control. This is a double-edged sword." Xu Qing understood that if he was not controlled and nurtured the Yaksha King like raising a little ghost, on the one hand, he would kill too many sins and easily make enemies. On the other hand, the Yaksha King would lose control and cause a backlash, which would put the visualizer into an irretrievable situation.
To put it bluntly, it's greed.
It is a good thing for people to have desires, but if they don’t know how to restrain themselves, good things will become death warrants.
Desire is the driving force of progress, but also the poison of its own destruction.
Xu Qing secretly warned himself not to overdo it.
At the same time, he observed the bronze mirror and found that there was indeed a new column of content in the evaluation of Taoism.
Taoist magic: Visualization method of the five great demon gods (incomplete).
"It turns out to be the Five Great Demon Gods. So the Yaksha King is just one of them. Are there four other pictures?" Xu Qing thought, "I wonder what effect will be achieved if the visualization method of the Five Great Demon Gods is fully cultivated."
This is also human nature.
Although he warned himself, he couldn't help wanting to get the whole thing because he saw that the visualization method was incomplete.
"People are so miserable and never satisfied." Xu Qing sighed.
The more he has now, the more afraid he is of death in his heart.
After sorting out his thoughts, Xu Qing suppressed the Yaksha King in his soul. In fact, this was also a protection. If someone used Taoism to invade his dream, they would naturally encounter the counterattack of the Yaksha King.
"After gathering my evil thoughts and becoming the Yaksha King, my spirit became purer, and even the power of Crane's Cry increased."
The cry of the crane is also one of Xu Qing's killer moves. If one can condense the spiritual fluctuations of the cry of the crane, it can cause a short-term stun effect on ordinary warriors. I just don't know if it will be useful for someone at the level of King Lin.
Xu Qing hasn't tried it.
I’ll try again when I’m more familiar with it.
Anyway, he felt that Lao Lin had always wanted to trick him into going up the mountain.
If he really makes money and goes up the mountain, wouldn't he really become Brother Gongming? He is also doing this for Lao Lin's own good. After all, if he goes up the mountain, who will be the big brother?
Xu Qing is now becoming more and more skilled in winning people's hearts.
This thing actually depends on whether you are willing to sacrifice your own interests, and then practice more. Talent is important, but not that important.
It's a very simple truth. If you follow him and eat braised pork every meal, or if you follow others and eat coarse grains and vegetables every meal, what do you think you will choose?
In fact, there is no need to actually do this. Just come up with a slogan, such as "Eat from the King of Rebellion, drink from the King of Rebellion, and no taxes will be paid when the King of Rebellion comes." If this kind of word gets out, many people who can't make a living will follow suit.
It turns out that drawing pie in the sky is the most cost-effective and fastest way to achieve results.
Xu Qing was still too particular and wanted to eat meat just like his brothers.
You are such a real person.
After Xu Qing practiced the visualization method, he did not go out to stroll around Tianjing City. He and Wu Xun'an are now both prominent figures, and it is easy to fall into a trap if they go out now.
This is also the reason why Zhou Tixue was anxious to bring him to his official residence.
This is the protection his "uncle" gives him.
Hey, why did my body call out involuntarily?
So honest!
